Hi guys . . . Lets have some FUN . .

Try these quizzes out and post the answers in your blog


I love nerds !!!



I knew i'd never die young as only the good die young!!



I am sexier than that - just ask hubby . .rofl

HAVE FUN GUYS . . HE HE HE HE HE

Well - I've certainly had an interesting few days!!!

To be honest this flare up with the Lupus is taking it's toll!!! The chronic fatigue is really hard to deal with and when you combine that with major hot flushes and dry itchy skin that wont heal I'm sure you can understand where i am coming from  . . . . 

Then there is the toll that this horrible condition is taking on my family. I see the stress appearing in my hubby's eyes and it is really getting to me. Last night I cried myself to sleep because I am so angry that I am like this and I just want it all to go away. . . 

I took my 8 yr old into town on Sat to put away a layby of clothes as she is growing so fast and I scared the hell out of her. We only went into 2 shop that were right beside each other and I felt exhausted! My daughter freaked as my face had gone all RED and sweaty and she thought I was going to faint. Luckily she knew where to find her dad and took off to get him! They rushed me home where  i promptly feel asleep for 4 hours.

I would love to have my life back ! ! ! ! !

Then there is the house hunting. What a task this is turning out to be! So far we have looked at 22 houses BUT all of them have been either dumps or had no yard and were not suitable for young kids!

The main part that scares me is when we finally do find somewhere . . . My poor hubby will have to pack and move the house on his own and that just isn't fair. Hubby is hoping that the move will also improve my health as he is thinking that the mould may be affecting the lupus . .  Who knows, fingers are crossed!!

Anyway - Life goes on! ! ! !

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die!
This is so priceless and so easy to see happening - customer service, being what it is today!

A lady died this past January, and ANZ bank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge.
The balance had been $0.00, now is somewhere around $60.00.

A family member placed a call to ANZ:

Family Member:
"I am calling to tell you that she died in January."

ANZ:
"The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply."

Family Member:
"Maybe, you should turn it over to collections."

ANZ:
"Since it is two months past due, it already has been."

Family Member:
So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?"

ANZ:
"Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!"

Family Member:
"Do you think God will be mad at her?"

ANZ:
"Excuse me?"

Family Member:
"Did you just get what I was telling you . . . the part about her being dead?"

ANZ:
"Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor."

Supervisor gets on the phone:

Family Member:
"I'm calling to tell you, she died in January."

ANZ:
"The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply."

Family Member:
"You mean you want to collect from her estate?"

ANZ:
(Stammer) "Are you her lawyer?"

Family Member:
"No, I'm her great nephew."
(Lawyer info given)

ANZ:
"Could you fax us a certificate of death?"

Family Member:
"Sure."
(fax number is given)

After they get the fax:

ANZ:[
"Our system just isn't set up for death. I don't know what more I can do to help."

Family Member:
"Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care."

ANZ:
"Well, the late fees and charges do still apply."

Family Member:
"Would you like her new billing address?"

ANZ:
"That might help."

Family Member:
"Rookwood Memorial Cemetery,
1249 Centenary Rd, Sydney
Plot Number 69."

ANZ:
"Sir, that's a cemetery!"

Family Member:
"What do you do with dead people on your planet?"

I got the shock of my life late yesterday . .  Hubby and I were walking around the house looking for Sumara baby shoes and asking her where her shoes were. The next thing we heard was Sumara, she grabbed my hand and said very clearly "shoes" and then led me to where she had hid them . .. 

I was so shocked and dumb founded . . My sweet little 15 month bub who has only ever said mum, dad and Ta suddenly came out with a BIG word. SHOES!!!!!!  . . . . And the SH sound is one of the hardest to do . . . I am so proud that I am bursting at the seams . .

On top of that - in the last few days she has also began to show an interest in my insulin and now knows instinctively when i am supposed to have it. Now when she sees food being served she runs at me, lifts up my top, and mumbles away until i have my needle . . . If she sees me eating without my needle she has started to growl at me . .

Not bad for a 15 month old . . . . . My little angel is growing up . .  Do you think I can freeze her in time as I'm not ready for my youngest to move up through the ranks of life just yet . . lol

Hi guys,

I just wanted to send out an invite to ALL members . . . .

I have a private group called Up Up Away We Go which is a group only for jokes and funny pics. It is listed as private as some of the jokes etc can be a bit rude or out there . . . but they are ALL funny

BUT if you are after a GREAT laugh and have a terrific and broad sense of humour, please let m know and I will be only too happy to send you an invite . . .

Cheers Kellz

Last night I spent some time with my 8 yr old . .  Her choice of activity and she decided on movies . .

Well now i look back I think Hmmmmm BIG MISTAKE . . . Neither were what you'd call tear jerkers but the first one had me sobbing my little heart out and D was getting me tissues by the handle full and telling how cute i was . .HUH??~!!!

The second move movie was called DUMA and it was story about a little bot who saved and raised a cheetah and then his father died so he had to teach the cheetah how to be wild again. It was a GREAT movie and had a really great story BUT man did I cry and this time I couldn't stop!!!!

D told me I was funny and in the end I had to go and lay down, it was like someone had opended the flood gated and nothing was going to stop them . .

Today though i feel GREAT . . .

Well today had certainly been a day of embarrassment for Minti! ! ! !

All the flaming and bitching and behind the scenes chatter is totally eye opening! This would have to one situation that I as a member must say makes be ashamed to even know about,  let alone be involved in! . . . .

Minti is about supporting, encouraging and helping other members and citizens within our communities. It is NOT about flaming, bitching and plan right bullying.

I AM NOT going to single any members out as that would NOT help this situation any! BUT i will say that it has been a very bad and sad day for Minti and its members.

Today I've had several high ranking members on the phone to me crying and other have emailed me with regards to the whole situation. I spent a lot of my time this afternoon talking to members who were crying or really upset (around 6 members) and then deleting inappropriate emails that i do not have any tolerance for!

I am an upfront person who believes that people should be open and upfront. I do not involve myself in bitching, flaming or backstabbing NOR do I join in on these so called groups that are established for these reasons.

Please people - do the right thing! If you know you have upset a member 'say sorry', if you have said or done something that is not appropriate 'say sorry' . . . Be reasonable.

By the way - this is a prime example of why children should NOT have access to Minti - I would be ashamed if my children had sen the way members have behaved today. I know of one little girl who wants to burn her mums computer because it made her mum cry!

 NOT ONE is it! ! !

To everyones else . . HUGS and I hope you all had a great day . . . xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

My stress levels are going through the roof and this is NOT helping my depression. Its been a bloody bad day for me and I feel for my hubby . .  Sometimes being married to a person who has a history of depression can really suck!

It all started off ok but then i stumbled upon mould  - yep more mould!!!  It's bloody every where . . . .  So we blew the budget buying more chemical to clean it . . .  Can't find a rental property atm and the Tenancy People tell us that because we are in goverment housing we just have to suck it up. If we were renting privately and had these problems it would be another story.

Anyway - This big super strong mum fell in a heap! A big heap!!!! Worst I think I've been in ages, damned scary how quickly the depression can sneak up on a person.

Well enough of my moaning . .  I hope you are are doing well and I promise to try and catch up soon . . .
